Neurodegenerative Diseases •PP2 SISSA, Italy strong in neurobiology

– transcriptome analysis to identify genes involved in the prion disease and thus protein biomarkers to carry out diagnosis from accessibile tissues (plasma)

• PP1 National Institute of Chemistry, Slovenia strong in chemometrics

– new QSAR model predicting anti-prion drug activity– new QSAR model predicting dietary flavonoid transport by

bilitranslocase membrane transporter, – prediction of 3D structure of bilitranslocase

• bilitranslocase important for transport of flavonoids to the brain• flavonoids important for neuroprotection

Complications and prevention of cardiovascular diseases•PP6 General Hospital of Sempeter, Nova Gorica, Slovenia, strong in intensive care

– controlling kidney failure following coronary dilation

• PP3 University of Nova Gorica, Slovenia strong in laser-based technology and lab-on-chip

– new method to detect biomarker of kidney injury– new method to detect predictive biomarker bilirubin

•LP University of Trieste, Italy, strong in membrane biology– bilitranslocase-mediated transport of dietary flavonoids

Medicine  and  Nanotechnologies: a  Perfect  Wedding

Coeliac disease•PP9 Pediatric Hospital Burlo Garofalo, Trieste, Italy, strong in diseases of the intestine

– pre-symptomatic diagnosis of coeliac disease

• PP7 University of Ca’ Foscari, Venezia, Italy, strong in electrochemical sensors

– new method to detect serum biomarkers of asymptomatic coeliac disease

Medicine  and  Nanotechnologies: a  Perfect  Wedding

Orthopaedic diseases•PP11 Orthopaedic Hospital of Valdoltra, Ankaran, Slovenia, strong in biocompatible materials for implants•PP8 University of Udine, Italy strong in antimicrobial peptides

– new antibacterial coating of orthopaedic implants

Medicine  and  Nanotechnologies: a  Perfect  Wedding

THE CHALLENGE & the innovation

let’s contact industries, hospitals and other research centres
